Asexual

Asexuality is a part of the asexual spectrum, and is defined by a lack of sexual attraction. Asexual experiences may also include: not wanting to have sex, not being interested in sex, not experiencing a sex drive/libido, or being repulsed by sex. Sexual attraction is defined as the desire to have sex with, or otherwise perform sexual acts with, another person. For example, while a bisexual person is sexually attracted to people of the same and other genders, an asexual person is sexually attracted to no genders. For non-asexual people (allosexuals), sexual attraction is involuntary, and even occurs when someone doesn't know the other person.

Being asexual does not mean that one is unable to experience romantic attraction. Some asexual people also identify with a romantic orientation to specify who they're interested in romantically, if anyone. They often use the prefixes like hetero-, homo-, bi-, and pan- in front of the word romantic to describe who they experience romantic attraction to. For example, a person who is asexual heteroromantic is romantically attracted to people of another gender, but is not sexually attracted to them. Some asexuals are also aromantic, meaning that they also do not feel romantic attraction.
